An ode to my husband

Well I said in my last blog that I would dedicate the next one to my husband. I feel the need to express how wonderful he is and share it with everyone who reads this and what better day to do it than today, Valentines Day.
So his name is Scott and we have been married for 10 years this May. We met at a bar of all places. Yeah not a place you think you will meet your soul mate but the way things happened, it really was fate. We dated for a year before getting married and we had kids right away. It has been such an amazing experience to watch him become the man he has. He never saw himself with a wife or a family and within a couple of years he had both. The biggest change has come in the last few years, as we have both been through some life-changing experiences. We have been through a lot with our son Grant. When he was 3, Grant was diagnosed with a Spectrum Disorder (Autism) and just last year he was also diagnosed with Epilepsy. We have been through IEP meetings, specialists, conferences, seizures (which I would never want any parent to have to witness) and through it all, he has been there...my rock, my support. Those kinds of things change a person and they changed both of us. You see the world differently and have a very different perspective on things after going through what we have with our son. It is something that unless you experience it for yourself, it is hard to comprehend. We are so thankful and blessed that we have each other, especially during those hard times. Scott has both learned from and taught me patience, tolerance, empathy, compassion, selflessness and unconditional love.
He has been my biggest supporter since I have started on this journey, although somewhere deep down I think he is insecure that I will lose all this weight and leave him. I tell him all the time that it would never happen because I know that I have found the person I was meant to be with. I would not be able to do this without his love and encouragement. He truly is my best friend and forever soul mate. Thank you Honey....I love you.
